We Need To Talk About Oprah’s Favorite Things

I am OBSESSED with Oprah’s Favorite Things. I never really watched Oprah with much regularity — I wasn’t home that much during the day when she was on TV, and I was always more of a soap opera viewer when I was — but I was always DELIGHTED if I happened to stumble upon Favorite Things. The combination of her guests losing their collection shit and my own undeniable love of stuff was unbeatable. Anyhoodle, now that Oprah is off on at her estate hosting dinner parties in the woods or whatever, her Favorite Things are all on Amazon. You probably want to look at them.

I have many thoughts — namely, that I am STILL very susceptible to whatever Oprah wants me to buy. I was scrolling through the list, all like, “ooh, extremely pretty bubble bath makes a good gift. Oooh, those are the prettiest shower caps I’ve ever seen! That’s ALSO a good gift.” (Meanwhile, you know those shower cap makers are FREAKING OUT because they don’t have enough stock for this; does O tell people when they’re one of her favorite things? It seems like you should give someone the head’s up that they’re about to make plenty of cash in the next few days. I also want to note that the copy for the shower caps is amazing. To wit: “It’s no secret that this country is deeply divided. But here’s one thing we can all agree on: Every woman needs a good shower cap.” That is where America is on the issue of bipartisanship, you guys. Shower caps.)
